Nissan will unveil a pickup-based SUV next year to rival the likes of the Toyota Fortuner. The Navara NP300 pickup will spawn an SUV body next year. Set to make its world premiere at the Beijing motor show in April, the SUV will arrive in Thai showrooms toward the end of 2018. Since it will be based around the technical credentials of today’s Navara NP300 pickup, the mid-size SUV will come with a traditional chassis-on-frame body albeit a more modern rear coil and multi-link suspension. Such a strategy will leave Mazda as the only major pickup player to not have an SUV derivative of its BT-50.
